Extended as a public program of Corri-Lynn Tetz’s solo exhibition Art Lover, the artist discusses her practice and artistic journey with her gallerist Shannon Norberg. They each share their insights into amplifying the female gaze and underlining the agency of women artists.

Shannon Norberg
(she / her)
Shannon Norberg is the partner and co-director of Norberg Hall. From the gallery’s inception (Jarvis Hall Gallery) in 2010, founded by Jarvis Hall, and continuing over the past decade alongside Norberg, they have re-envisioned the possibilities of what commercial contemporary art galleries can be for artists, collectors and the vibrant Canadian arts community they value. Their desire for a strong visual culture and passion for gender equity has played an integral part in the shaping of the Norberg Hall and its programming. Throughout the years, Norberg Hall has actively supported the practices of emerging, mid-career and established artists to foster a deeper understanding of their creative processes, while providing a platform and space to share these critical dialogues.
